Ugh. That is VERY annoying. I have had similar things happen, and I could have sued someone.

A funny story though: So I have a country in one of my WIPs that is called Dorwin. The citizens were called Dorwinians. Imagine my shock when I read the Hobbit and found out the elves have Dorwinian wine. The amazed, even fascinated,…[Read more]

Oh dear. Peeks at random note book scribbles. Quickly hides them.

I started a few stories that I have never finished (most of them were for school. All one needs to know right there.). The last one was about Avery, Son of the Wood – *cough*. So basically, there are two groups of people, the Plainsmen and the Wood People (they were…[Read more]

Amen.

I love finding out the scriptures through chasing down an allegory.

John 10:30!  🙂

@madelyn

Exactly. Fanny’s humility and quiet strength are so underrepresented in modern literature. My favorites of her books are probably Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey (that last one is her lightest work, in my opinion).

OooooOooOo, yes. I hope my books turn out as good as the authors’ who inspired them.…[Read more]

@madelyn, hi!

So…if your post was belated, so is this reply. Sorry.

I am literally (quite literally) going to rattle my chair apart with exitement. C. S. Lewis, S. D. Smith, Andrew Peterson, Jane Austen, AND Chuck Black?! Sir Dalton is amazing. We just finished listening to Sir Quinlan for the second time this evening. YOU LIKE FANNY PRICE?…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

No, I would not say all the excitement is from the last two books. What I will say is that the last books are powerful and that they drive home the lessons and themes one doesn’t catch at first glance in the earlier books. Wingfeather is one of the few series that gets better as time goes on.

Honestly, I too love…[Read more]

@elanor

Oooooo, it sounds really good, and has a unique flavor.

Finding a gift through captivity? I think you just helped me with one of my WIPs. 🙂

Thank you, it was fun!

Just because, here is an escape cliche pet peeve of mine:

Saying “I think we’ll make it!” just before getting caught.

*Rueful laugh*

This is a great question. I am currently on a quest to seek and destroy cliches, so this is fantastic.

Let’s see.

Work in the personality of your character. Jesper might pick the lock, Picket might (try to) dig out, fight out, etc., and Janner would work the system against itself (and fight like mad if it didn’t work). Every person sees things…[Read more]

@faith-q

When is it okay to rebel? Good question, and here’s my questionably good answer(which is basically what everyone else has said. Those were great answers, ya’ll!). When government goes against what is right or godly, we have to speak up. To go along with evil is a sin, or as the Word says, “to him who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,…[Read more]

I think the message is clear: READ ON. IT GETS BETTER AND IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!

🙂 😉

And considering this was his first venture into fantasy, and the last book was written after ten years of thought, the series definitely gets better.

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

I understand if the series isn’t for you. We were actually very sceptical of it at first, especially of the fangs. I also see where the first book could be cliche or slow. He uses many plot points we are all too familiar with, and there are a few things that are a bit unrealistic. Then, why do I like them? Well,…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

That’s beautiful.

@godlyfantasy12

This is a brilliant idea!

So…we can share encouraging things? Hmm.

Isaiah 42:16 “And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things strait. These things will I do unto them, and…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh, it’s fine! I was just checking. (Docs was acting up.)

No, it’s plotting mutiny.

@keilah-h

Is it letting you comment? I’m asking this because for a moment it said there were several comments, but then it changed its mind. I’m just checking to make sure it’s not plotting mutiny.

@keilah-h

I think that’s The End. We had imagined much more, but it’s hard to write it all and keep it meaningful.

@keilah-h

There it is!(in above post) We would also appreciate any comments/suggestions since we’re still smoothing it out.

1. here!

@keilah-h

Of course, I’d be thrilled to! I’d stick the link on here if I can figure out how. It’s bon Google docs.
